OK, you can get a P4 for the same price, but you're going to need to
whack out a few quid for a wireless card and a bluetooth dongle. You can
get decent build-quality Thinkpads at a similar spec to a Powerbook for
less cash. Do I *really* need to get the URLs out to prove this?

I disagree, but then I've only owned three thinkpads and have never had
an iBook or Powerbook bought with my own cash, so what do I know?
